My book has been stalled for months over this - I've filled the time working on the sequel to Cleah - but I don't think the mystery will ever get going at this rate - thanks so much!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13163128507705064874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2914373095764685039.post-29512614568162502332011-07-30T04:46:34.704-07:002011-07-30T04:46:34.704-07:00This probably isn't an option you'd consid...This probably isn't an option you'd consider, but I have an author friend who often pays someone to ghost-write her sex scenes.

Advice given to me is to seek examples of scenes you liked or related to and see what works. As much as I pretend I'm not a prude, I am a little uncomfortable with graphic descriptions. The love scenes I like are less about body parts doing things and more about the emotional connection. I know you can't avoid all physical description since that would be weird. I appreciate more natural descriptions and avoidance of cliches. Also I really cringe at any mention of a man's "member." That is so awkward.Stephscohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06328839483008086049noreply@blogger.com
